[AT] IH Fast Hitch

[Al Jones]

It would almost have to be afterward.  The Fast Hitch didn't come out until
1953.
Interesting to think about what might have been.  Since large tractors
sense draft off the lower three point links, a Fast Hitch makes a lot of
sense in hindsight.  It would accomplish what a three point with "quick
coupler" does with no add-ons.
